A Robot at My Side in the Late Han Dynasty

Mozi, an intelligent robot left behind by my programmer grandfather, became my only cheat when I transmigrated to the Three Kingdoms.

It could analyze flaws in Lü Bu’s halberd techniques, optimize supply routes for Liu Bei’s army, and even simulate Zhuge Liang’s plan to divide the realm into three kingdoms.

But it couldn’t calculate Guan Yu’s pride or Zhang Fei’s temper, much less Liu Bei’s hesitation in that crucial moment.

At Guandu, I pointed at the map and said, “My lord, Yuan Shao is bound to lose.”

Liu Bei asked, “What makes you trust me?”

I glanced at the robot’s flashing blue lights, then at the weary-looking man, and said softly,

“Because the data tells me you’re worth betting on.”
